Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Tour desks quote very different prices for the same cave or ruin: get two quotes and confirm entry fees, guide licence and lunch. (Scams)
- Ask "BZ or US?": a price in US dollars is double the same number in Belize dollars. (Scams)
- Unlicensed touts on the street offer cave trips: book through your hotel or a tour desk with a licence on display. (Scams)
